If someone doesn't watch television... I really don't care much... but I also don't see the need to advertise it... kinda like i don't see the need to advertise a lot of things people do... but that's me...

dead on the spot. most people that I talk to that don't watch TV act like they are saints for not doing so and that they are enlightened.
Just the phrase "I don't watch TV" comes off as arrogant. I don't watch many shows either - I watch The Shield and Nip/Tuck when it's on, that's about it. So basically 1 hour a week. But if someone asks if I saw a certain show, I just respond "nah I don't watch a whole lot of TV, how was it?" gets better reactions!
